BACKGROUND Technical Field

The disclosure relates to transmission methods and devices in wireless communication systems, and in particular to a method and a device supporting beam management on unlicensed spectrum.

Related Art

In conventional 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems, data transmission occurs on licensed spectrum only. However, with the sharp increase of data amount, especially in some urban areas, licensed spectrum probably is difficult to meet the requirements of data amount. In Release 13 and Release 14, cellular systems introduce communications on unlicensed spectrum for uplink and downlink transmission of data. In order to ensure compatibility with other access technologies on unlicensed spectrum, a Listen Before Talk (LBT) technology is adopted by Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) to avoid interferences caused by multiple transmitters occupying same frequency resource(s) simultaneously.

At present, technical discussions about 5G New Radio Access Technology (NR) are ongoing, in which massive Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) becomes a research hotspot of next-generation mobile communications. In massive MIMO, in order to ensure that a User Equipment (UE) can switch flexibly between multiple beams, relevant processes of beam management are defined and adopted in 5G NR, in which a UE can dynamically recommend a candidate beam to a base station through a Beam Recovery Request (BRR) so as to replace a current serving beam, then the base station transmits a BRR response through the recommended candidate beam within a predefined time window so as to acknowledge to the UE that the above BRR is known by the base station, and the base station employs the candidate beam to transmit signals in subsequent schedulings. When the above processes are applied to unlicensed spectrum, a new mechanism needs to be designed.

SUMMARY

When the processes of beam management operate on unlicensed spectrum, due to the uncertainty of LBT and the problems of hidden nodes or exposed nodes, even if a base station correctly receives a BRR from a UE, the base station cannot guarantee that a response to the BRR is transmitted to the UE within a given time window like in existing 5G NR systems; meanwhile, when the UE does not receive a response to the BRR, the UE cannot determine whether the response is not received because the recommended candidate beam is not enough for the base station or because the base station cannot pass an LBT on the recommended candidate beam and thus fails to transmit the response. In view of the above problems, one simple method is to view both the above two conditions as a case in which the base station does not receive the BRR, and the UE retransmits a BRR after the given time window. However, this method cannot resolve the problem that the base station fails to transmit a response due to LBT failure; therefore, the UE may still recommend the previously recommended candidate beam. As a consequence, the above method leads to a larger beam recovery latency and an unnecessary retransmission of BRR.

In view of the design, the disclosure provides a solution. It should be noted that the embodiments of the UE of the disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments may be applied to the base station if no conflict is incurred, and vice versa. The embodiments of the disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments may be mutually combined arbitrarily if no conflict is incurred.

In one embodiment, the above method is characterized in that: in 5G NR systems, when a UE recommends a candidate beam, a base station will employ the candidate beam to provide services to the UE; in LAA scenarios, the beam recommended by the UE seams to be optimal on the UE side; however, on the base station side, since other surrounding transmitting nodes share the same one block of resources, the above candidate beam probably cannot pass LBT, thus the base station cannot transmit a response to the candidate beam; however, the above method is to solve this problem.

In one embodiment, the above method has the following benefits: through the first signaling, that is, a physical layer signaling, the base station acknowledges to the UE whether the first radio signal is correctly received; thus, when a BRR response cannot be transmitted due to a reason of LBT in subsequent processes, the UE will know that the beam recommended in the BRR is unavailable on the base station side; thus, the problem that on the base station side there is(are) exposed node(s) not known by the UE is solved.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a radio protocol architecture of a user plane and a control plane. In FIG. 3 , the radio protocol architecture of a UE and a base station (gNB or eNB) is represented by three layers, which are a Layer 1, a Layer 2 and a Layer 3 respectively. The Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (physical layer) signal processing functions. The L1 layer will be referred to herein as the PHY 301. The Layer 2 (L2 layer) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is responsible for the link between the UE and the gNB over the PHY 301. In the user plane, the L2 layer 305 includes a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303, and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304, which are terminated at the gNB on the network side. Although not shown, the UE may include several higher layers above the L2 layer 305, including a network layer (i.e. IP layer) terminated at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminated at the other end (i.e. a peer UE, a server, etc.) of the connection. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides header compression for higher-layer packets so as to reduce radio transmission overheads. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides security by encrypting packets and provides support for UE handover between gNBs. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembling of higher-layer packets, retransmission of lost packets, and reordering of lost packets to as to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ. The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical channels and transport channels. The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (i.e., resource blocks) in one cell among UEs. The MAC sublayer 302 is also in charge of HARQ operations. In the control plane, the radio protocol architecture of the UE and the gNB is almost the same as the radio protocol architecture in the user plane on the PHY 301 and the L2 layer 305, with the exception that there is no header compression function for the control plane. The control plane also includes a Radio Resource Control (RRC) sublayer 306 in the layer 3 (L3). The RRC sublayer 306 is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e. radio bearers) and configuring lower layers using an RRC signaling between the gNB and the UE.
